    Go with a group of people and order a variety of plates so you can try a little of everything, but make sure to make reservations a couple weeks prior! Also be sure to get the fried green tomatoes!

    Short rib was unreal. Beet salad with sesame vinaigrette was so refreshing. Cheese board with apricot preserves was perfect. Gluten-free and vegetarian menus available, too!

    The kimchi scallops are to die for and loved the cheese! The bread + fruit that comes out with it is on point!

    small plates are amazing. Had the ribs, duck flautas and Shang hai beef and all of them were great. Great dining experience. Try the coffee too, it's very good

    Order one of several entrée-size plates, and the staff likely will encourage the table to share even those. Small plates are the name of the game here, adventurous dishes with striking flavors.

    As everyone suggested, the bacon-wrapped dates were fantastic. The Chef's Choice charcuteri board and local cheeses we're also amazing.

    Rotating menu with a large beer list (40ish) and draft (10ish). Definitely ask the bartender or server what the best items are!

    That was really really good. The duck breast was perfect, drunken noodles were fresh and you could taste the "homemade" in all of it. The bread pudding..,,. orgasmic.

    Fun and good times. Indulge in an excess of cheese and delicious small plates. ~25 animal or vegetable small plates to choose from.

    Possibly everything. Smoked duck. Keep in mind the dishes are small; order 2-3 per person if you're hungry.

    Just ask your server to course out the meal. Much easier. Don't miss the cocktails.
